[h3]Double Experience for ALL[/h3]
Get into the Halloween spirit with double experience for ALL players from Oct. 06 - Oct. 10, starting once this update goes Live!
[h3]Infantry Adjustments Seeker HLX / Demon Seeker HLX (Heavy Crossbow)[/h3]
Minimum damage range from 150m to 120m for all non-Aerolite ammo types.
The 6x optic is now uses the correct 6x zoom depth, instead of 3.4x.
Projectile size from 0.09 to 0.06
Projectile tracers are now more visible.
[h3]Fracture Bolts[/h3]
Indirect damage is now resist type 6 (Common Explosive) instead of resist type 2 (Small Arms.)
Indirect max damage from 250 to 200
Indirect min damage from 150 to 100
Indirect max damage radius from 1m to 0.5m
Indirect min damage radius from 3m to 2m
Direct damage from 450 to 350
Firing delay from 0.1sec. to 0.2sec
Indirect damage to friendlies is now reduced by 50% (same as Thumper.)
Reduced visual size of Fracture Bolt impact.
[h3]Splitbolt[/h3]
Splitbolts now reduce headshot damage multiplier by 50% (resulting in a 900 damage headshot when all three bolts land within maximum damage range.)
ADS fan angular spread 0.5 to 0.6
Hipfire fan angular spread 1 to 3
[h3]Lightweight Arms[/h3]
Now reduces hipfire cone of fire by 40%, instead of 100%.
[h3]Aerolite Bolts[/h3]
Updated description to reflect the new "increase" in minimum damage range.
Dev Note: The changes above reel in the crossbow's effective range slightly, and increases the tradeoffs of certain attachments. In general, the weapon should require more precision to use effectively, and will no longer be capable of one-shot kills against non-Infiltrator classes. We'll continue to monitor the crossbow's performance and take action as needed.
[h3]Ectoblaster[/h3]
Indirect maximum damage from 125 to 75.

CB-ARX Newton
PMG-ARX Schrodinger
SG-ARX Rutherford
BAR-ARX Feynman
SR-ARX Einstein
U-ARX Dirac
XMG-ARX Galilei
AR-ARX Maxwell
[h3]Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions[/h3]
Reduced large continent unlock requirements so that Koltyr becomes less frequently available on lower population servers.
Squad finder no longer shows as empty on Koltyr.
Vehicles receiving a tick of ammunition at the same time they reload will no longer fire a "ghost" round.
Fixed an issue with the GD-22S reload animation
Fixed an issue causing low framerates on the empire select screen in the new character create flow.
Fixed an issue with NPCs not playing their full death animation in the tutorial.
Fixed an issue with NPCs being too cool to look at where they're shooting in the tutorial.
The "Accept Mission" button is no longer highlighted when you are incapable of accepting any more missions for the day.
Fixed various third person animations related to melee weapons.
The mysterious "ADD AMMO" implant is no longer visible in VR Training.
Profile Banners no longer have missing previews in the Depot.
[h3]Known Issues[/h3]
Routers, Capture Points, and Generators will occasionally be visible through walls. We have a speculative fix for the next update that we're currently evaluating.
As always we value your feedback, please drop your comments in the discussion here on Steam. Thanks!

Want to see what's new? Check out the latest Halloween Update here.
See you in game, soldier! ːsteamthumbsupː
Nanite of The Living Dead, 2021
Throughout the halls filled wails and screaming, while in shadows hunters' blades are gleaming. Crossbows, hatchets, and tricks abound, to sting and slice and silence sound.
[h2]Nanite of the Living Dead (Oct. 01 - Oct. 31)[/h2]
This year's Nanite of the Living Dead event runs through all of October! Spooky sights, sounds, and SpacePumpkins will make their way to Auraxis. Details below!
[h2]A Shadowy Sanctuary[/h2]
The Sanctuary social hub has received a seasonal makeover. Sights, sounds, and mask-wearing denizens abound.
[h2]Trick or Treat![/h2]
Upon entering Sanctuary, you'll receive a mission to learn more about the Halloween event! Along the way, unlock holiday masks that provide bonus experience when worn!
SPRK-33 is unimpressed.
[h2]Squash the SpacePumpkins!
[/h2]
The SpacePumpkins have returned to Auraxis! Throughout the battlefields, seek and destroy these gigantic gourds to earn experience and progress toward a new Halloween directive!
The massive (and powerful!) Galact-O-Lantern may occasionally be found lying in wait... what are these foul creatures plotting?
[h2]Halloween Directive[/h2]
Gain buckets of currency by stabbing, chopping, and resurrecting your way through this year's new Halloween directive!
Those who conquer these challenges before the event ends will receive a Terrifying new title, and a deadly new camouflage pattern.
[h2]Monster Slayer's Best Friend[/h2]
Meet the Heavy Crossbow, a new primary weapon archetype available to the Infiltrator and Light Assault classes.
The Seeker HLX is the first of its kind, firing hardlight bolts that turn distant enemies into pincushions.
With Nanite of the Living Dead, we'll also be releasing the Demon Seeker variant, an infernal take on this newest addition.
[h2]Seasonal Cosmetics[/h2]
In addition to the heavy crossbows, the Halloween season brings cosmetics old and new right to your Depot.
Find holiday vehicle horns, engine FX, and contrails; masks, helmets, and camouflage; and a variety of weaponry befitting the witching hours.
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Inferno Tire Trails, for the Flash, Harasser, ANT, and Sunderer.
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Spectral Contrails and Engine FX for the Dervish, Mosquito, Reaver, and Scythe.
Grim, holiday pickaxes for each empire.
[h2]And Much More![/h2]
Included in the coming update are loads of UI and quality of life improvements, as well as bug fixes and smaller additions. While the event runs from October 1st and on, the update (and much of the content) will land on September 29. Patch notes and full event details are just around the corner. Stay tuned!
We want to hear what you think! What is your favorite part of this update? Let us know!
